The Angel Inn in East Dorset

Had the best Sunday roast we have had for a long time, food was delicious. Roast pork with all the trimmings including crackling & huge Yorkshire puds, cooked perfectly and leaving no room for desserts. Staff are always friendly and helpful but Tasha & George were absolutely great and nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely be back!

The service was great, served by Tasha, really lovely, atmosphere & food equally good.

Dropped in for a coffee on a sunny Monday afternoon and was hugely appreciative of the attentive service! The gentleman who took my order was friendly , brought my coffee to me outside and even went back to get me some sugar!. I'll be making an effort to return more regularly

Delicious food, great service and atmosphere. Would definitely return.

Not overly helpful regarding allergies, had all the paperwork but when it actually came to a choice of food , unhelpful.

Awesome place! The food was super tasty, came out quick, and the staff were all really friendly and welcoming. Great service and great vibes – definitely coming back.

Great service from Mickey today and lovely food and drink - many thanks!

Good food. Great service. George looked after us very well. Nice atmosphere, not quite a Valentine's feel but it was ok.

Lovely pub, very friendly bar staff & an excellent quiz night on my visit.

Excellent food and well kept and served beer (Tanglefoot). Our party of 3 was shown to table one, the room was warm and cosy with three other unoccupied tables. Our drinks order could have been taken sooner but we were ten minutes or so early so that was understandable. The serving staff were very pleasant.

The sandwiches were a bit expensive but very nice and the lattes were nice too.

Friendly People working over there Food is good The realm is not too busy, maybe in the weekends I think in the summer is going to be quite busy also Lovely place to eat

We have dined at the Angel a handful of times for Boxing Day meals or Sunday Roast and food has been pleasant. We recently came for a meal and we’re disappointed with the quality of the meal. Our starter of calamari strips, resembled nothing of calamari and was awful. Our main of burgers were ok. Lovely pub and outdoors area, will return for drinks but will not be returning for food.

Absolutely wonderful worth a visit

George out server whom made us feel comfortable, welcomed and valued as customers would highly recommend, food is Devine and a 5star service

Thank you so much for today. I cam in for breakfast with my family. The waiting team were amazing. A special thank you to George and Ellie. They were both so attentive. Will definitely be back

George was amazing attentive and friendly. Will definitely come again well done George

Izzy was a very kind and attentive server. Nice pub with decent food

Great food. Attentive friendly service from our waitress Carly

Lovely welcome from theyoungladywho served me and made a real fuss of my dachshunds. Had an enjoyable business lunch 😋. I will be back

A real rustic looking pub, we stopped in here for a few beers on our way back home from Bournemouth. Open fire, oak tables, oak flooring, nice atmosphere, friendly staff, lots of selections of beer, didn’t try the badger beer which is brewed near, as I believe? Very spacious inside and outside, plenty of parking. Can imagine this place gets packed, and for good reasons. Unfortunately we didn’t have anything to eat but others peoples food looked delicious. Will definitely be returning by when in the area

We have Just had a lovely family Sunday dinner, thank you to Carlie our waitress who was brilliant. The food was delicious. We 100% recommend

Fantastic all around, Tracey was very lovely, attentive and helpful for allergens! The food was delicious so thank you to the Chef!

Visited the Angel last Friday evening, really well liked after by George and rest of team as always. Great fish & chips and good busy atmosphere.

Tracey was a amazing and always looks after us

Tasha was our waitress and very kind and efficient. We loved the food! Thank you , we will be returning

A pleasant pub on a busy road, benefitting from a large garden to the rear, away from the traffic. The interior is spacious and divided into a number of seating areas. Food and drink is very much the same as found in most other pubs in the Hall and Woodhouse family, so standard British pub fare, and a wide range of good beers, etc. Good service from friendly staff.

Lovely staff and a lovely roast dinner.

We had a fantastic meal at The Angel Inn last night The food was fantastic as was our lovely waitress George I can’t rate this more highly Thoroughly recommend this restaurant

I brought my father here for his 82 nd birthday just before Christmas and it was delightful. Food is always quality for what you pay. I have been a few times before and the kitchen is consistent. What made this visit exceptional was the service we received from a bubbly young lady, Jess. She was very attentive and engaging with us. It wasn't just a service but an experience and that topped it off. Will be back again in the near future.

What a lovely place! Foods good, staff are great and dog friendly too. Only one slight gripe is that the beer garden, and play area, have access to the carpark. A gate would be a good idea.

My family and I are regulars at the pub. We love the Food, atmosphere and service at the Angel. We’ve tried quite a lot on their menu and it’s got a lot of options, even for some of us who are vegetarian/pescatarian. We were recently served By Ellie who was wonderful at taking orders, she was very helpful and polite. In all honesty, this is a more expensive pub to dine in, but with the daily deals, such as children eat free (with adult meal) it makes a difference. And it’s definitely worth it all for a lovely meal. We will continue to come to eat here.

We had a fantastic experience at the Angel Inn Pub. The food was absolutely delicious, with every meal being a real treat. The server had a great sense of humour, making the visit even more memorable. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would happily return for another meal.

Good food, pleasant interior and friendly staff

Went here Christmas day for dinner. Food was lovely and the atmosphere was cheerful. Prehaps a bit too long between meals but otherwise a lovely experience.

What can I say we went here for Christmas day lunch and it was lovely. Great food, Staff very friendly and couldn't do enough for you. Our 1st Christmas day lunch out and it was a very enjoyable experience. WELL DONE THE ANGEL.

Super friendly helpful staff and the Sunday roast was outstanding.

Great roast and fantastic staff!

I have been to The Angel 2 years in a row for Christmas Day meal, it is faultless, food is excellent, served hot, no long wait, great service, cannot find a single thing wrong 😋

Delicious food, Pleasent service, Kind Waiters and staff, Amazing cozy atmosphere.

Always a friendly welcome. Great selection of drinks and reliably consistent food. Dog friendly

Family meal get together prior to Christmas We ordered two beef and one turkey roasts, Service was good considering how busy they were Drinks were and starters were brought out promptly and were very good, after a slight delay the mains were served sadly the beef was tough maybe the knives were a little blunt but even after requesting steak knives it was just not good, the flavour of all meals was supperb with large well cooked Yorkshire puds and crisp roast potatoes, good seasonal veg and flavoursome gravy Our server Carlie was attentive and very helpful We will be visiting again

Friendly staff, great homely atmosphere and plenty of space to park but the food is overpriced in my opinion.

Had a work christmas meal out with the LADS LADS LADS, Emily was excellent she is a asset to the angel! Great food great service, kept those drinks flowing juuuust nicely! Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeers

Emily was just fantastic as our host for our Christmas party. We are cheeky bunch of LADS LADS LADS and she couldn't have been more fun. The food was delightful and the drinks flowed freely. We were completely satiated and will definitely be back! Thanks The Angel!

Christmas meal out with the lads lads lads Emily was brilliant, attentive and friendly. Food was great. We've left stuffed.

Food was great, Tasha was great

Third time to visit this cosy, inviting restaurant. Once for lunch. They accommodated a walk in and food was served fairly quick. Staff were a little flustered due to a busy lunch setting but handled well. Would like to try one of the offer evening In the week.

Great food, great atmosphere and we enjoyed our visit. Tasha was an excellent host so thanks for making sure everything was on

The best local put, every time I visit, all staff are highly trained on allergies/intolerance, feel safe to eat there. Also food is amazing, never been disappointed. Highly recommend

Another mediocre meal, Sunday roast served on lukewarm plates, with slices of stringy and chewy beef, over cooked roast potatoes and nondescript Yorkshire. Waffles were cold. Meal Overpriced, Horns in at Parley offers better value and quicker service. No price on desert table menus.

Overpriced Mediocre Sunday lunch (roast beef) served on lukewarm plates with stringy and chewy slices of beef, over cooked roast potatoes and nondescript Yorkshire. Waffles for desert were cold. Service slowish. Horns Inn at Parley offers better value.

The food & service was excellent we’ve been coming for many years & still enjoy the experience.

To celebrate a good nights work, my wife, took me to lunch. We enjoy the Angel hugely always have. Food was excellent I had a steak ciabatta and the wife had pulled pork. Drink was amazing, I had a Guinness substitute which was great and the wife had a little whine. The whole interlude was about an hour and a half. It had the edge taken off it by a group of four, two men and two women who felt we might regard them as being more authentic millennials, if they exhibited their skill in swearing. Shame it was otherwise a great time!

Very busy lunch service, nice atmosphere, reasonably tasty food and good service. Our server was called Anna, who was very attentive. I was only sorry that the place was cold, the radiator near our table of 11 was stone cold yesterday, when the weather had been quite cold. Happy to go to the Angel again soon.

Great Christmas atmosphere and hospitality

We booked a Christmas celebration meal for 26 people, the food was great, and the service excellent. It all went very smoothly and everyone went away happy.

Great food, excellent service by Connor a great host.

Nice pubby atmosphere seating a bit rickety, but I guess that's for the effect. Pleasant staff, large outside garden, overall very nice.

Jess was excellent. Attentive and friendly. Xmas menu was solid and good value. Nice, and dog friendly

Thank you so much for a wonderfully enjoyable family meal today, 5 star in everything! (there were 5 adults and 1 child - we booked a table same day). The food (as per our last visit) was so good and we enjoyed every bite! Please don't ever get rid of the chicken schnitzel with the garlic butter - it was lush! It was a very busy Saturday and there was a very large table seated just down from us - the staff worked so hard and were rushed off their feet but they all remained so friendly and welcoming! There was a bit of a longer wait than usual for the food but this was expected as it is a lovely popular pub on a Saturday. We were happy just chatting and having drinks. One server stood out for us and that was Ellie :) She looked after us so well and couldn't do enough for us! Every meal out with my family is so very special - thank you for being part of it with us :)

Nat was our server and was attentive and friendly. Food was absolutely delicious!

Lisa, our waitress, was friendly, attentive and very helpful providing guidance on food options. The food came quickly and was hot, all the food options we had were really nice. Would return.

We spent a wonderful evening at the Angel on a Sunday. George and Jess looked after us - very attentive and so welcoming and friendly. Food was also great - a perfect evening!

Amazing scotch egg and great ale

Excellent service from Lisa and all staff there. Open fires and a warm welcome. Good value, well prepared quality food.

Lovely food and lovely service, cosy and quiet, waitress George had photographic memory! Great schnitzel- amazing garlic butter - and tasty cinnamon cheesecake

Very disappointed with my meal today. I went for fish and chips,there was more batter than fish snd as I have a dairy intolerance I left the batter so there wasn't much left for me. Very little meal choice if you have a dairy intolerance.

We went there for a Sunday lunch while celebrating a birthday. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. Lisa our server was very good, as were her colleagues. Drinks and food came very quickly. Reasonably priced for what we had. My only criticism would be, that I felt the tables we a little too close, however we had an enjoyable experience, thank you.

Excellent friendly service from Ellie, food was fine, lovely venue, a bit chilly where we were sat, but would definitely recommend.

Very friendly staff, great service & excellent food

A cosy pub with lots of well-positioned tables. We were given a lovely warm welcome, the choice of food was good, each of us having something different & enjoying all.

Better than our last visit and service has definitely improved. Jess was an excellent ambassador for the pub. Roasts were good, both beef and Pork with good vegetables. Only improvement would be to ensure the gravy, sauces and custard are hot....not warm.

Excellent food and service by Tasha. Warm comfort food at its best.

Update to a previous weekday evening visit, similarly impressed following a really good Sunday roast for a group of 10, pre booked and all went smoothly, great service despite being very busy. Attractive spacious place of varied zones, modern but with a rustic feel. Ate an evening meal from a varied menu, being a wednesday all burgers had the attraction of a huge discount, listed at say £17 costing less than a tenner, which was tasty. My companions cannelloni also good. There seems to be a Monday deal for something else too. Attentive staff, efficient service.

Jess was amazing, very friendly and patient. She made my mother in law’s day with a birthday song and cake!!

Me and my partner had a delicious pork and chicken Sunday roast this evening. We were served by Emily who was very attentive and lovely. Would recommend

Jess was a great waitress, really helpful and friendly with my disabled parents. The food was amazing, especially the cinnamon cheesecake!

Very welcoming team, fitted us in last minute for a busy Sunday roast.

Lovely meal and service but found it a bit chilly in there, couldn’t take our jackets off. We were served by Ellie and she was excellent. We would go back.

Wow so amazing! Connor was very attentive and made sure our drinks were perfect!

The food was alright. Considering it wasn't very busy the service was pretty slow. Overall, reasonable.

Had breakfast today and had a great experience, we were served by Rubee who was nothing but friendly and helpful, excellent catering for dogs. 10/10

We came for the wednesday burger deal!! the service, via ellie, was fantastic!! she was attentive and focused on providing the best service possible. it made the experience feel customer-centre and more focused on our enjoyment rather than the money!

Food was great and good atmosphere for Sunday dinner. Service from Carlie was excellent too!

We had a lovely Sunday lunch. Jess served us and she was an absolute asset to the pub. Lovely friendly and really helpful..! Will be back with service like that :) food was lovely aswel

Anna!!! Booked in easily over the weekend for a group of four. Was pleasantly busy and a nice atmosphere. Anna was our server and she was brilliant thank you.

Daisy was our server today for lunch. She was lovely and took extra care of us as one person has an egg allergy. We felt completely at ease with her. The food was great, good portions and extremely tasty. It was lovely that we could bring our small Shih Tzu too. Many thanks to Daisy and the other staff too.

Excellent service and very friendly. Excellent food, good disability access. Natalie was a very good and attentive server. Thank you

Nice garden, food was great, dog friendly, had the steak pie with mash and red cabbage today, very nice 👍

Popped in for a pint when out on my bike. Good to see a pub with bike park to lock it. Great beer, friendly staff.

The last time we went here was about 4 years ago and we walked out because of rude staff and a no care attitude. But...our friends wanted to come last night and gosh !..are we glad we did ! What a complete difference. The staff were lovely, food very good. We'll definitely be coming to The Angel again. We'll try the Sunday roast soon

The company for the meal was amazing, and I enjoyed the evening but the fish pie was a little lacking in fish and was mostly diced potato. The sauce with the pie tasted good and the salad was fresh but only consisted of rocket, 2 slices of cucumber and a couple of cherry tomatoes.

Service very quick, food extremely hot which was great. Nice atmosphere and staff very friendly

Good as always in Hall and Woodhouse pub is excellent and great value for money. Service from George was really good! Attentive and always seemed to be around for any requests! Helpful when the servers have a good personality! Would highly recommend!

Came in here for dinner and was served by Natalie, she was so friendly and was very patient with the fussy little ones. Food was great, beer went down a treat!

Lovely pub, very friendly & welcoming staff, dog friendly. Great food and ambience. Would recommend this to anyone wishing to visit while in the area.

Exelent country style local pub food was exelent increadably dog friendly with pooch ice-cream too Staff was lovely and lots of silly saying all over the walls give this pub a look and have some food u wont regret it

Very small portion and beef was inedible....chewy
